Top Shipstal Beach Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Poole by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This was only a one night stay but it was great - good room with quiet air conditioning, helpful staff at 11.00 p.m. check-in, and well cooked breakfast with plenty of choice. Can thoroughly recommend this hotel."

Hotel du Vin & Bistro Poole

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice room, staff were very pleasant and helpful"

Rambling Rose caravan with sea view on Rockley Park

8/10 Good

"We had a lovely stay at Rockley park in Rambling Rose 22Harbour view. It had a beautiful outlook with sea views . The caravan was really nice , comfy bed . Didn’t like the plastic covered mattress or the Quilt as all the stuffing kept moving to the bottom making it heavy . This did not detract from our experience however. The cooking equipment could do with a bit of updating , a new frying pan and better knives and forks . There was not a grill pan . All this being said we did manage to cook a full English and other meals , I just think these need updating , they also need some baking trays . There were only two of us but if you had a full family you might struggle with the cooking side with lack of these bits . it Was lovely sat out on the decking enjoying the sun and there was plenty of seating to do this, even if you had a bigger family . The bathrooms were really nice , the shower in main room was great . Nice touch with cleaning materials being available as we didn’t need to go out and buy any. The vacuum needs a bit of TLC didn’t pick up much but did enable us to keep on top of the cleaning .The lounge was very comfortable, again with plenty of comfortable seating . Loved the counter and stools , great spot for a morning coffee overlooking the beautiful view reading the papers . Table and chairs really useful for full dining .Dog friendly accommodation and our dog had a lovely time . Trish and Shirley very responsive to any queries we had pre and post booking . Thanks"

"Great location, perfect for furry friends!"

Lazy Bear 25 Arne View Seaside home with great views, full kitchen&strong Wi-Fi.

10/10 Excellent

"We were a family of 4 adults and 3 children. Was a bit of a squash at times and would be better for just 6 people as we found the sofa bed a bit uncomfy. We did however manage to fit us all round the table and the home had everything we needed and was nice and clean. Haven gave us a 50% discount on play passes, probably because they knew the indoor pool was very booked up. We couldn’t book the pool but just turn up and see if there were places. I think people book in advance more than they need and then don’t turn up. There was only one day where we didn’t manage to get into the indoor pool and used the outside one instead. We visited Sandybanks beach in Bournemouth on 2 days, what a lovely beach, clean, toilets, shower and lifeguards. The sea was so nice to swim in.Food on site a bit expensive but lots of options offsite and close by. We had a meal out at The Yachtsman just down the road, which was lovely and the staff there were great. Hosts were great and their communication was very good."

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location for walking to Poole, a spritely 10 minutes. The views from the balcony are to die for. Sandbanks and Swanich are a short drive and the chain driven ferry is cool. Lots of lovely places to eat in Poole, would recommend St Tropez and Rockfish."
